Then, she said, "There are a total of 20 Old Tree Thick Roots: 15 are Rare level, with a purchase price of 150,000 each, and the remaining 5 are Half-step Legendary Level, with a purchase price of 300,000 each."
"There are a total of 15 Immortality Roots: 10 are Rare level, with a purchase price of 150,000 each, and the remaining 5 are Half-step Legendary Level, with a purchase price of 300,000 each."
"There are a total of 10 School Grasses: 8 are Rare level, with a purchase price of 200,000 each, and the remaining 2 are Half-step Legendary Level, with a purchase price of 400,000 each."
"There are a total of 10 School Flowers: 7 are Rare level, with a purchase price of 300,000 each, and the remaining 3 are Half-step Legendary Level, with a purchase price of 600,000 each."
"The total purchase price comes to 13.05 million."
The moment Qin Yao finished speaking, the entire hall erupted, filled with incredulous gasps of disbelief.
"Th-thirteen point zero five million? My god! Are you kidding me? How could it be so much?"
"Hiss! That’s terrifying!" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on Nove1Fire.net
"A single transaction in the millions! Even an Epic Level Monster Hunter would feel inadequate, right?"
"Seriously? Are young people nowadays all this incredible? It’s genuinely frightening!"
"13.05 million? Is that a lot? To be honest, it’s just so-so. If I worked without eating or drinking for a hundred years, I could easily earn that."
"Stop dreaming, you bottom-feeder. You barely earn five thousand a month, yet you dream of making a hundred thousand a year!"
After hearing Qin Yao’s quote, everyone in the hall was stunned.
Su Yan, the one at the center of it all, appeared outwardly calm, though a flicker of excitement stirred within him. He had previously seen the purchase prices for prey from other Monster Hunters and had also heard the price Qin Yao just quoted for the Rare-level School Flower. Therefore, he already had a rough idea of the total value of this pile of exotic treasures.
"Su Yan, are you satisfied with this purchase price?" Qin Yao looked at Su Yan and asked. Her voice wavered slightly; clearly, she hadn’t fully recovered from the shock of Su Yan producing so many exotic treasures at once.
Su Yan smiled and replied, "I’m very satisfied with this purchase price, but there’s a small question I don’t quite understand."
Qin Yao’s beautiful eyes flickered as she said, "What’s your question, Su Yan? You can tell me."
Su Yan, pointing at the prices of School Flowers and School Grasses on the list, said, "I just don’t understand. The School Flower and School Grass have basically the same uses. What’s odd is the significant difference in their purchase prices."
"Uh... That’s..." Su Yan’s question had hit upon a gap in Qin Yao’s knowledge, leaving her momentarily speechless and unable to explain.
Seeing Qin Yao’s predicament, an older appraiser beside her smiled and explained, "Customer, it’s . These two exotic treasures have different market prices, so our firm’s purchase prices also differ."
"Different market prices?"
"Yes, different market prices. Although both School Flowers and School Grasses are primarily used to enhance Creature Charm, they target slightly different customer groups. School Grass targets male customers, while School Flowers are for female customers. And compared to men, women tend to place more importance on enhancing their Charm—even more so than on increasing their own strength. Consequently, the market demand for School Flowers is higher, which naturally drives up their price."
"`I see. That’s very informative.` Su Yan nodded, acknowledging he’d learned something new."
The older appraiser smiled and said, "You’re welcome, customer. It’s simply part of our job."
With that, the older appraiser produced a black bank card and handed it to Su Yan, explaining, "According to the regulations of the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm, customers whose annual transaction amount reaches ten million or more become VIPs of our firm. As VIPs, they can enjoy certain discounts in future transactions.
"This special discount is limited to purchases made here. In the future, when you shop at the Qin Family’s Commercial Firm, you can receive discounts of up to 20%."
"`Oh, I see. Understood.` Su Yan nodded and accepted the black bank card from the appraiser."
The older appraiser spoke up again, "Sir, if you’re satisfied with this transaction, we can begin processing it. The funds will be transferred to the VIP bank card in your hand."
"`Alright, let’s proceed.`"
After walking out of the purchasing area, Su Yan instantly transformed from a student with modest means into a millionaire.
Now a wealthy man, he walked with a newfound confidence, his head held high and chest out, exuding a powerful aura. To put it simply: with money, you could truly do whatever you wanted.
After leaving the purchasing area, Su Yan didn’t immediately depart from the commercial firm. Instead, he headed to the shopping area on the upper floor, curious to see if there was anything he’d like to buy.
Upon entering the shopping area, Su Yan was immediately captivated by the dazzling array of goods. The Foreign Beast Area to his right particularly caught his eye, filled with all sorts of bizarre creatures.
One was a Vine Eagle Armor with golden claws. It had a habit of pressing its claws together before dashing at high speed, repeatedly striking its cage—likely one of its Creature skills.
Another was a talking electric eel that even produced its own electronic sound effects, though listening to it was rather grating.
